Working with Namespaces
While working with store-related operations like
add, modify, delete, list, test connection, count entries the
-N flag can be used to explicitly select a namespace to be operated within. For example, a user will need to specify the namespace or the service type to delete, test or list entries.
Note: A namespace is being selected automatically if a service type (
-s) is specified (vcenter, vco => vla; lvm, vla => sa). In this case the specification of an namespace via this parameter is not required.
Available values to be used with -N flag:
